At this hour, the Hundred Flowers Pavilion was full of joy.

The candle flame in the hall was flickering, Zhong Yuxiu soaked in the bath bucket soaked in hibiscus petals, and the orchid next to her scooped hot water spoonful by spoon and gently poured it on Zhong Yuxiu's snow-white skin, she closed her eyes slightly, and said casually, "The emperor turned over my brand tonight, I'm afraid it's reluctant......

Lan Xiang didn't stop in her hand, picked up new petals and sprinkled them in the water, and said loudly, "Don't worry about the little master, last time in the imperial garden, the slave and maid looked at the emperor and looked at the little master's eyes differently, didn't you look at the expression of the virtuous concubine Niangniang......" Speaking of this, Lan Xiang chuckled a few times, "How relieved is how much you want to be relieved." ”

Yuxiu listened to this, and her heart was naturally happy, she chuckled and stretched out her hand to make a gesture to hit Lan Xiang, and said, "Don't talk too much." ”

Lan Xiang pursed her lips and smiled, feeling a little proud, "What the slave said is the truth." Even if today's emperor turned over the little master's brand on the order of the queen mother, the little master is always close to the emperor's body, and he is not much more blessed than other little masters. ”

Yuxiu just didn't say anything, and immersed her body in the water deeper, but the smile on her face was more than one point.

Lan Xiang was even happier when she saw her like this, and the smile on her face was about to overflow, "The little master talks about family background, appearance, and talent, which point is not better than Concubine Xian...... Maybe after today's bedtime, the emperor will love the little master. ”

When Yuxiu heard this, her face turned red, and she smiled and wanted to throw the water on her, but Lan Xiang just blindly dodged, and kept laughing, "The little lord spares his life, the little lord spares his life......"

After bathing, Yuxiu got up and was served by the palace maids to change clothes.

Zhong Yuxiu only wore a light-colored gauze dress and skirt today, with long green snail eyebrows, abandoned the beaded flower tassels, and only used a finely carved plum hairpin to curl up the three thousand green silks, and light the lead.

She was helped out of the palace gate by Lan Xiang, and saw that the father-in-law in charge of the respectful room and Feng Luan Chengen's car had been parked at the door, so she gave Lan Xiang a look, and Lan Xiang immediately took out a silver ingot that had been prepared and handed it to the father-in-law. The father-in-law in charge smiled all over his face, and hurriedly helped Zhong Yuxiu into the sedan chair.

Fengluan Chengen's car stopped in front of the main hall of Mingde Palace.

Zhong Yuxiu got out of the sedan chair, and Cheng Dehai rushed up, and said with a smile, "The slave asks for peace for the little master Zhong, and the little master can go in with the slave." ”

Yuxiu smiled slightly, her voice soft and ethereal, "There is Father-in-law Laohai." ”

Lan Xiang was very smart at this time, and glanced at Zhong Yuxiu, Yuxiu nodded, and she handed over the entire purse to Cheng Dehai.

Cheng Dehai was stunned, opened his purse carefully, and couldn't help but cry out "Oops", and hurriedly smiled, "Little master, how dare this slave accept it......"

Yuxiu pursed her lips slightly, and said softly, "This is the little master's intention, and my father-in-law can accept it with confidence." There are still many places to trouble my father-in-law in the future......"

Cheng Dehai was excited, and he agreed with a smile, "The slave listens to the little master's orders." ”

Entering the main hall of Mingde Palace, the emperor was still painting before the case, and he didn't care to see Zhong Yuxiu. Cheng Dehai saluted and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Little Lord Zhong is here." ”

Chu Luo was still unmoved, and said indifferently, "I know, you can go down." ”

Cheng Dehai retreated, and only the emperor, Zhong Yuxiu and a little eunuch grinding for the emperor were left in the main hall of Mingde Palace.

The little eunuch timidly greeted Zhong Yuxiu and wanted to retreat together, but heard the emperor shout, "My painting is not finished yet, where are you going?" ”

The little eunuch was startled, and hurriedly knelt down again to grind for the emperor.

Zhong Yuxiu saw this situation, whether she was sitting or standing, she had to owe herself, and said to the emperor with a smile, "Your Majesty, let the concubine grind it for you." ”

Chu Luo raised his head and glanced at her when he heard this, seeing that she was so pure and elegant today, but she was not losing her noble and elegant attitude, she still looked at herself with a smile and humility, and her tone was also a little gentle, "Just let the subordinates do this kind of thing." ”

Seeing that the emperor deliberately snubbed him, Yuxiu was not annoyed, and still walked to the emperor with a smile as usual, watching him paint, and couldn't help but admire, "The emperor's peach blossom painting is really good." As soon as the words came out, she suddenly remembered that there was only one person in this palace who loved peach blossoms, and thinking of this, Zhong Yuxiu's face gradually cooled.

Even if Shen Changan was not here, he still insisted on embarrassing her.

And the emperor only did not hear it, and still painted the peach blossoms of the trees on the rice paper. The grinding little eunuch was already cowering, watching the emperor silent, coupled with Zhong Yuxiu's cold face, his hand trembled in fright, and the remaining ink in the inkstone splashed on the emperor's painting with a "click", and the clear ink spread quickly on the familiar Xuan.

Zhong Yuxiu was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to wipe it, but it was useless. The emperor's face grew angry, and he slammed the brush on the desk with a "bang".

The little eunuch was already so frightened that he couldn't get up from his knees on the ground, so he crawled in front of the emperor barely supported and begged in a low voice, "Please forgive the emperor...... Please forgive the emperor for his sins......"

Zhong Yuxiu lowered her eyes and glanced at the little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground mournfully, and then looked at the peach blossoms on the tree in front of the case, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she smiled instead, "Don't worry, the emperor, the concubine has her own way." ”

Chu Luo condensed at her slightly, only to see her roll up her sleeves, take advantage of the ink dry, pick up the ink pen, use the ink dots as the axis, render it, and draw a flat boat with a sprinkled face, covering the stream, and the peach blossoms are scattered between the streams, like a very exquisite artistic conception of the landscape. Chu Luo looked a little distracted, and couldn't help but admire in his heart that this woman had such talent.

Yu Xiuying looked at the emperor and smiled, "'Where to find the peach blossoms in March, the light boat is in the blue stream. Isn't that what you're talking about? After that, she carefully glanced at the emperor's expression, and seeing that he was still silent, she quickly knelt down and said, "The concubine is just temporary, if it destroys the emperor's original intention of painting, please ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”

After a long time, the emperor spoke loudly.

"Fabulous ......"

Yuxiu raised her head when she heard this, her eyes widened slightly, "What did the emperor say?" ”

Chu Luo looked at her sideways, and there was warmth in his tone, "I said, the painting you made is really wonderful. ”

Yuxiu's face was slightly red, and she lowered her eyebrows and said, "The emperor praised it falsely." ”

Chu Luo stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help her up, glanced at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground again, and said in a low voice, "You go down, I won't blame you." ”

The little eunuch received the order, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, "Thank you, Emperor Xie, little master Zhong." After saying that, he lifted the hem of his clothes and hurriedly left the Mingde Palace.

Chu Luo's hand was still on the back of Yuxiu's white hand at this time, and she was so close to him that she could hear his even breathing. She smiled softly, and dared to untie the emperor's coat, and as soon as her hand covered the emperor's clothes, he held it down.

She looked up at him with a puzzled look. He just put her hand down softly and said softly, "You're tired too, rest early." I'm going to the side hall tonight. ”

Zhong Yuxiu's heart trembled, and her body couldn't help shaking, but Chu Luo had already left in front of her, and she couldn't help but call out in a lost voice, "Your Majesty, ......"

His footsteps only stopped for a moment, and he didn't look back after all.

Zhong Yuxiu sat on the cold ground, so cold that it penetrated the atrium from the outside of the body.

She finally couldn't hold back anymore and cried bitterly.
